Does anyone else on this forum build Gundam kits? If you do, do you get your models online and if so from who? I wish to get some more kits but they can only get a very limited selection at my local shop, and I dont want to drive 2 1/2hrs away to pick up any kits that they don't have.

Went to the big city today and got to visit one of my favourite model stores

This is what I picked up:



I love Gundam models but they can be very expensive. This store always has a good deal

Lots of parts:



that will hopefully look like this once completed:



I'll post as construction starts

So I purchased this kit for parts... opened it up and was intrigued. I like how it was built and dont think I want to scrounge it for parts. I have stripped the crome, cleaned up the spru connections and started the build. It id pretty cool so far. My wife id a fan of Alice in Wonderland so I may use that as the theme; The Red Queen.

The Kit:





Progress so far:

dry fitting and pre build




ready for the base coat and chroming


So I also have some questions. I use an airbrush. Using Tamya Primer should I pre mix and if so with what and at what consistancy. Or do I just use the gloss black as my base as I plan to use Alchlad II to chome the pieces myself?

Any thoughts sugestions are welcome

So I have this game I play on my xbox called Brutal Legend. You like Heavy Metal? Hotrods? and good humour? Then its one you should try. Well there is this car, The Deuce. I want one, so I am gonna make one

The car:








Now to make it happen...

If you have any ideas to help me along please post

I will update along the way

One of my last builds before my long break from modeling. Now that I'm back ito it again this is what I have done. It is a strait box build and will eventually rebuild it. Sorry for the pic quality, I am only using my Blackberry till I can get a dig. camera.









I've learnt alot since these days and even got a BFA, So my new builds should look a lot better
